Bisping had a lot to say about the hip surgery and really isnt buying that is the reason he is retiring. Saying hip surgery isnt that big of deal saying both his ageing parents had them and its a quick recovery.

I kind of agree with Bisping, I think Ben now has a clear reality that he isnt that good and he will continue to get beat up should he continue.

Yeah maybe....he got his ass handed to him and beat up bad in 2 of the 3 fights and outclassed, albeit by one one the best grapplers in the game, in the 3rd fight. Ben's striking is a huge limiting factor for him

I get where Bisping is coming from, but not all hip surgeries are the same. Andy Murray(Scottish tennis player) went through numerous surgeries on his hip and ended up retiring because they could not get it right...….until one last more experimental surgery finally worked and he's back playing tennis again. Also, Ben is no kid, he's got a lot of damage on the body.....he failed in the UFC, but he did fight the very best from day one, he wasn't given any easy fights to get himself a win.
